Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 6.10 fully updated on Jan 19 07:
Draging and droping image files onto a gnome panel (ie. the bottom panel)
paints an image of the top panel and its contents over the bottom panel. Trash
and other such items on the bottom panel appear on top of the painted image.
Everything still appears to function. A screenshot of the bug is attached to a
comment below this description.
I ran "killall gnome-panel" in the terminal, but it only cleaned the
bottom panel back to normal the first few times I repeated the bug. The
last few times killall didnt work at all, and even a complete restart
failed to clean the bottom panel back to normal. The only solution was
to then manually create a new identical panel and delete the old one.
To repeat this bug:
- have a top panel and a bottom panel on your gnome desktop
- save an image file to the desktop
- drag the file saved on your desktop and drop it on a blank part of your
bottom panel
- the top panel should suddenly appear painted over the bottom panel
** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
